Birdman needs to get a grip on his funds! New reports are surfacing that the music mogul has now swindled Drake, Tyga, and Nicki Minaj out of their "well-deserved" funds.
Lil Wayne appears to be the bearer of bad news, as his legal documents have made the aforementioned claims against Baby.
Lil Wayne and his lawyers claim "he has letters from Drake and Tyga's people claiming they got stiffed out of a fortune. And Nicki's people say in a separate letter her producers also got short changed by Young Money, and Wayne says it's Cash Money's responsibility to pay producers."
Birdman is owner of Cash Money Records is the parent company above Lil Wayne's Young Money Records, which houses major recording artists Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tyga, and more.
Bryan Williams is currently facing a $51 million lawsuit against his "son" Weezy. The "How To Love" rapper says Stunna and Cash Money violated their deal by withholding tens of millions of dollars Cash Money owes him for his delayed album, "Tha Carter V."
As TMZ reports, Lil Wayne's branch of the record company was expecting a huge advance from Universal, however YMCMB has not seen it yet. "Young Money claims it was supposed to get a big chunk of a $100 million advance from Universal -- an advance that went directly to Cash Money -- and they're still waiting."
Cash Money is fighting back, saying Lil Tunechi and YMCMB are just running game. "They gave him a $20 million advance for Young Money in 2012, another $12 million for Wayne's solo album and another $70 million in advances, royalties, marketing and recording costs for various Young Money artists."
To boot, Birdman points the finger at Wayne for not upholding his end of the bargain. The "Lollipop" emcee "was supposed to deliver 21 albums over 7 years for his artists and only anted up 13."
This case is getting dirty. In addition, this is not the first of legal money woes for Baby. Producer DVLP, who was behind a number of Lil Wayne's Tha Carter productions, exposed Birdman's via text message, taking screenshots of their heated conversations and shooting them over to TMZ in August. The New York-based producer is demanding $200,000 for unpaid work.
